Only a bunch of librarians could design a website that takes four clicks from the initial "view a list of participants to get to the page that actually lists the participants.

I count three clicks, one of which is Mediawiki's way of doing internal navigation. How did you get four clicks?

A note from Connie:

Dear ELs,

I just got home from the airport and I am still elated at the great start the program got and the impact you have already made on ALA. I heard nothing but favorable comments about your attendance at committee meetings, programs, and social events. People I talked to were delighted to get to know you. Good for you!

I have also been reviewing what's been posted on the wiki in the last couple of days. Keep it up!

We could use this space for an FAQ about the program, and we could start with the questions you asked on Friday. Would anyone who posed (or remembers) a question, want to post it with the answer as you understood it? We can comment from there. I'll start:

Question 1: What is the purpose of the projects?
A: Projects are meant to give you experience working on a team, help you get to know some other ELs, an ALA staff member and a mentor, and introduce you to one aspect of ALA or the profession. The project might help with a particular issue. That would be a bonus. As you work on your project, be thinking about ways other than the poster session and the wiki that you can share what you learned (as a team or individually)with the library community.

Question 2: Not from that day - Can someone post an electronic copy of the handouts? Particularly the Preparing a Project Plan document. I've written all over mine and would like to share a clean copy with co-workers. Thanks in advance. - Cynthia Bischoff, Project L - 1/31/07

Not sure the best location for this post, but I very much wanted to extend a huge (and belated) thank you to the Darien Library for hosting such a great gathering for the Emerging Leaders at MidWinter. It was an extremely generous thing to do and it was much appreciated.
